PFAS in the tap water of Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis): under 8 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 8 ng/L, 16 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.
0.5 ng/L is our benchmark, not an official limit. Same EFSA method as Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, but stricter. It's a yearly average, compared here with the latest check.
More about this result
The US also limits PFOA and PFOS to 4 ng/L each, per substance.
The lab detects each of the four substances from 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 8 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 8 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Villepinte, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 17 June 2026. The total is below 8 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 16 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,005 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 6 checks since 14 January 2026: PFAS-4 from 1 ng/L to 5 ng/L, averaging 2.17 ng/L over 12 months. Falling on the main network.

PFAS over time in Villepinte
20 PFAS checks since 2 April 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Villepinte. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “UDI TREMBLAY / VILLEPINTE”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Villepinte safe to drink?
All the values shown here (30 July 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Villepinte's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Villepinte also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 8 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
Are PFAS levels rising in Villepinte's tap water?
No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 2 ng/L (14 January 2026) to 1 ng/L (11 March 2026) across 6 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Villepinte?
The water hardness in Villepinte is 30 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.
